There\u2019s simply no better way to characterize President Joe Biden\u2019s actions on the national stage \u2014 and it\u2019s even more troubling that no one seems willing to hold him accountable. Biden, who has been widely criticized, was in Angola shortly after pardoning his son, Hunter Biden. This situation highlights the seriousness of Biden&#8217;s issues, as this incident is unrelated to his controversial pardon. To provide context: this isn\u2019t just a superficial visit; Angola is a developing country that China is eager to influence geopolitically. Yet America sent Joe Biden there. During a summit with various African leaders in Angola, around 34 minutes into the video, 82-year-old Biden appears visibly tired and closes his eyes for an extended period\u2014it&#8217;s unclear if he actually fell asleep or not. Regardless of whether he dozed off or not, his behavior is disrespectful to the other leaders present.<\/p>\n<p>Is it too much to ask for basic attention towards these dignitaries? This latest incident adds insult to injury as it showcases the leader of the United States seemingly taking a public nap in Angola. Prior to this moment, he was treated like a child when he had to be guided around by hand as if being shown through a nursing home.<\/p>\n<p>This situation is profoundly embarrassing\u2014not just for Biden but also for those around him and for America as a whole. Such behavior should not be tolerated; however, those managing him have normalized these concerning actions. It has become abundantly clear that Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is unfit for office\u2014a fact evident since 2020 and reinforced by events leading up to and following his re-election bid withdrawal in July.<\/p>\n<p>The world faces significant challenges: Israel is under attack; there seems no resolution in sight for the Russia-Ukraine conflict; and adversaries like North Korea and China are increasingly assertive than ever before. The U.S needs a leader who can at least remain alert during meetings with other world leaders\u2014something clearly beyond Biden&#8217;s capabilities\u2014and there&#8217;s ample criticism directed at Democratic elites who continue supporting both him and Kamala Harris despite clear indications they are unqualified for leadership roles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2376265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Biden-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5716,3620,4133,5894,6143],"class_list":["post-2376264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-africa","tag-biden","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-viral"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joe-Biden-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2376264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2376264"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2376264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2376268,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2376264\/revisions\/2376268"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2376265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2376264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2376264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2376264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
